( Some of you who have read my nakaraan chapters know that in Renn and Jake's Life Chapter 23, I mentioned events of Nessie's "17th" birthday. I decided to write a chapter on the story of that event. I hope you like it! )
I woke up and noticed that it was still dark outside, but I didn't care. Today I, and my family would officially consider me an adult. It felt so good, that I was just jumping with excitement.
I was tired of them making decisions for me. I wanted so bad to be free, and this was my chance.
I glanced towards the window, and could see just barely the reddish tint around the edges of the mountains.
My room was too hot, so I slid out from under the covers and quietly walked to the window. Once I was there, I opened it, and felt the breeze pour in. There was nothing like this for me. Nothing could compare.
Once I had my fill of the cool, I closed my window and quietly walked down the stairs.
"Mom," I shouted, no answer. "Dad?" Still nothing.
"Anybody?" Maybe they were all gone. They must have been hunting.
I finally came to the conclusion that they were not here, and walked into the living room. There were a few boxes on the fireplace and a huge envelope with my name on it. I knew right away that those were the new documents. I was really turning seven, so saying seventeen worked out nice. But they decided that a good gift would be to let me be "twenty-one". That is what kept me up all night with excitement. When you turn twenty-one, you can do so many things. Like drink, go to clubs, yeah those aren't the wisest choices, but I planed on spending my "twenty first" birthday doing new things, with the guy I loved. Jacob, yet another thing to be excited about. My parents had decided out of the blue to put a strict schedule on when and where I could see him. But now that I was an adult, there were no madami rules.
I looked back at the envelope and decided that I could take a peek at the documents. If I put them back carefully, no one would ever know I peeked. Yeah right, but I didn't really care at the moment.
The papers slipped out so easily, that I didn't have time to prepare for them. They all spilled onto the floor.
"Crap." I muttered to my self. But I wasn't going to let some stupid mistake ruin my day. But then I noticed what they were.
They weren't just birth papers, there was something else.
I slowly and carefully picked up the single paper that seemed out of place.
It was about some fancy school. A super nice college in Norway. But it wasn't just a flyer, it was an acceptance and promise to attend.
I was horrified that they would even do this to me. They would take the effort to ship me off to school just to keep me from Jake, and craziness.
"Ugg," I threw the papers on the ground in a heap. "how could they do this to me?" I yelled.
There were sounds of doors closing from a few rooms away. I marched straight to the back entrance and saw my family enter.
"Why, would you do this?" I scream.
"Nessie," My mom started to reach her hand for me, but I stepped back.
"There is nothing you can even say to make me forgive you." I turned and ran to my room, anger and tears both filling me.
I ran into my room and slammed the door. Once I was inside, I flopped out onto to my bed. The sun was just coming up now. I lifted my head to look out the window.
The trees were shaking in the wind. I wished the wind could blow me away. To some place other than Norway.
There was a knock on my door, but who ever it was didn't wait for my answer.
"Nessie," Mom's soft voice comes from the door. I lay my head back down, and didn't look her way.
"What." I mutter.
"I'm sorry but we-" I cut her short.
"You what? Are trying to restrain me for the rest of my life?" I then turned to face her and frowned at her sad expression.
She walks over to the kama and sits down. "No Nessie, we are just trying to protect you."
"Protect me from what? Because for all I know, your just making me madami miserable than I already am." I sat up and looked her in the eyes. "Do you know that the time I get to spend with Jake, is the only time of araw that I actually enjoy? I have been traped in a cage! And it is because of you!" I started to yell a little louder
"I'm sorry." She just muttered again. Then she left without another word.

i couldn't let myself even think for a segundo that i could ease Rosalies Pain.
i never thought that anyone could, not even Emmett at his full best, and here i sit with everything she ever wanted, and i dont even want it. how could i be so selfish to tie the knot and give up the chance that i might regret for a long time adn might risk a wonderful friendship.
What about Alice, and esme? They may not have asked but i know they would pass up the oppurtunitie.
And what about myself. I've already had a baby, ive got a daughter, but i will regret this later too.
I have the most precious gift for a vampire in my grasp and idont want it, if only i could give it away.
What would Happen to me, if i did use this. would i die, really truely die,
and jacob, his pack wouldnt not agree. i cant please anyone.
"Bella" i tunefull voice whispered outside.

With Eclipse on the horizon it would be fun to share our paborito Eclipse quotes. mga panipi should be left as comments and with a page number so we can all see them in context. So what is your paborito line in Eclipse?
I pag-ibig it on page 58 when Bella is recalling watching Edward and Alice play chess: "Edward and Alice playing chess was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen. They'd sat there nearly motionless, staring at the board, while Alice foresaw the moves he would make and he picked the moves she would make in return out of her head. They played most of the game in their minds; I think they'd each moved two pawns when Alice suddenly flicked her king over and surrendered. It took all of three minutes."
